Endof
Treatment
Party
On 16 December 2017, 30 participants
comprising nine CCF beneficiaries and
their families came together to celebrate a
significant milestone - the End of Treatment,
at the CCF Community Office in Novena.
They were warmly greeted by CCF childhood
cancer survivors Sheam Kannan and Gloria
Leong, who were emcees for the day. The
theme for the celebration party was “Dancing
in theRain”.
The families participated in a round of
icebreaker “Bingo”. After the icebreaker,
each family worked together to paint their
family umbrella. Family members had to
reflect on how they braved the cancer
journey as a household, before incorporating
these reflections in their umbrella design.
Participants then sharedwith fellowattendees
their experiences and encouraging words of
appreciation for their familymembers.
As with all End of Treatment parties, the
highlight of the event was the presentation
of trophies to CCF beneficiaries by the
caregivers– a tangible and durable reminder
of their courageous fight against cancer.
The ceremony also served as a platform for
caregivers to commend their child.
Thereafter, attendees mingled with one
another and engaged in hearty conversations
over lunch.
Clutching their goodie bags and beautifully
designed umbrellas, CCF beneficiaries and
their families slowly vacated the premiseswith
smiles aplenty. CCF would like to thank the
beneficiaries, caregivers and volunteers for
making thisEndof Treatment party a success!

On 6 January 2018, CCF beneficiaries turned
up at the annual CCF New Year Celebration
in 3D-effect superhero costumes that ranged
from the well-loved armour-clad Ironman to
web-slinging hero Spiderman. The event was
attended by 148 CCF beneficiaries and their
families, as well as CCF Chairperson Mr Ho
Cheng Huat, CCF Executive Director Ms Neo
LayTin, CCF staff and volunteers.
The theme was aptly chosen to celebrate
the strength, resilience and heroism of our
beneficiaries and their families. The superhero
costumesalso injectedanoveltyelementamong

sponsored by CCF corporate partner, Pee-Ka-
PooPteLtd.
With their newfound stellar frame and chiselled
set of rock-hard abs, CCF beneficiaries proudly
strutted their stuff in a Superhero Fashion
Parade, all eager to clinch the Best Dressed
Award. Other activities included the Superhero
Jigsaw, Superhero Bingo and Superhero Quiz,
whichwere aimed at promoting interaction and
teamwork among theparticipating families.
The in-kind donations by CCF’s generous
partners were given away as lucky draw prizes
to our beneficiaries and their families. Among
the sponsored prizes were smartwatches and
mobilephones.
The event was made possible with the help
of CCF’s YouthConnect volunteers Tan Yi Jun
and Xiong Zihao, who toiled hard for the event
planning. They also took on the role of game
masters on theevent day.

known
as
